I forgot to leave my own echo chamber of liberal, rational, scientific websites and forums and really explore those and realize how powerful the other sides really were.

I ended up reading the sites you listed above and others. I never took Fox seriously before this election but imo they were more in touch with reality.
Many of the mainstream media sources that I generally trust were not very balanced in their coverage. r/politics became completely broken (paid posters?) and I stopped reading it.
